"I set out to understand what the apocalypse means to people of many different faiths. I had always thought of it as a all destroying doomsday. But I've discovered that some people yearn for the apocalypse. They want to be free of injustice. They want to escape suffering. They want a better world. Apocalypse. It's a Greek word meaning "lifting the veil." It's not about war, it's about enlightenment. It's not about death. It's a state of mind and heart that helps us see the truth. Not some far off day of judgment. It's here. It's now."
